Timber Creek Resort at De SotoRental Guest Reviews

Great Stay

First time at this location and it was affordable and a great experience

Stressful instead of peaceful

Noise complaints were made over normal activity of walking around in the room. Miserable time of telling the kids to walk softly and enforced early bedtimes. It was very stressful. This was our 3rd stay in 6 months but will be the last.

Ten out of Ten

This seems to be a hidden gem that for us was a fantastic family vacation. Driving in - beautiful. Peaceful lake, gorgeous view as we checked in. Very friendly, accommodating staff. Our two-bedroom, 2 bath, full kitchen room was immaculate. The balcony hosted our family breakfasts and evening happy hours. The pool, tennis court, snack bar, activity center were all frequented by our family, and we were so grateful to have this reunion at such a lovely place. We also spent one evening at a beautiful winery 15 min's away. This place is awesome, and we truly hope we'll be able to meet here again.

Great place for families!

This place has something for everyone to enjoy! It has a very large lake to fish, paddle boat and/or kayak. Picnic tables are available with a pavilion for a large family gathering including a place to grill/barbecue. Mini golf course plus a 5 hole regular golf course. Tennis courts as well as basketball, a sand volleyball and horseshoe pits. A playground that overlooks the lake then finally a swimming pool. Some of the Villas have their own smokers/grills. The Activity Center has a pool table, ping pong table, arcade games along with a sauna and fitness room. There are DVD’s available for rent and snack bar. Overall, it’s truly a great place for families to enjoy!

Best idea, but didn't love

We really loved the idea of this place! So cute and big rooms. Lots of fun activities for the kids too- pool, golf... We were on a lower level villa, but a middle would be my request for next time. I spoke to the manager about our room issues and she is resolving them. She was kind and very helpful.

Fun for the fam

The pool was nice for the kids. Fishing, boating, mini golf for the littles was good too. Basketball goals were broken. They had pickleball/tennis also.

Next time,I would like to be on the 1 st floor lev

Awesome place to visit! This was our 4 th visit here.So much to do and really nice villas!

Nice place, needs a refresh though

The staff is nice and friendly, location is nice, no indoor pool for cool days, mini golf needs refresh remodel, Villas are bit outdated, TVs needs to be updated, our oven was in Power Fail mode, housekeeping didn't collect all the previous wash cloths and left the body wash empty, the toilet area is extremely tight, so maybe not so good for the more stalking or fluffy guests. Felt like you had to pay for everything. Probably won't come back at the room rate we paid, get a much better value at other resorts. The Holiday Inn Club and resort in Palentine, Texas is much better!!! It your supposed to be treated differently for being an IHG member, I couldn't tell the difference.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESORT!

My family and I were placed in a room with a refrigerator that wasn't working. The mattresses on the beds were horrible and uncomfortable, and they need to be replaced! The rooms are outdated and need to be updated! The televisions are extremely small, and they don't even have decent channels for yiu to watch! The internet is also horrible and barely works! This isn't a resort because it gives cheap hotel vibes! After visiting this resort a few times and seeing it steadily declining, we won't stay again because it's not worth the points and money being charged!!!!!

Fantastic home away from home

First, the kitchen was as well stocked with utensils, pots, and pans, as I needed it to be. Having the table and the kitchen made my life immensly easier to meal prep and save time getting meals ready. The bedrooms and sitting areas were comfortable and I loved that there were sensibly placed plugs and charger ports available. I ended up switching bedrooms after a few days partially to try to avoid the sunlight sleeping during the day, but after the switch to daylight saving, I went back to the other bedroom cuz I could fall asleep before the sun rose. The jacuzzi tub in the one bedroom made falling asleep much easier taking a soak every morning before I went to bed. Being the off season, the pool, hot tub, and restaurant were closed, which kinda bummed me out, but the kitchen and the tub in the unit as mentioned more than made up for those. In all, I would 10 /10 recommend, and will try to being the wife and kids in the future to take advantage of the other amenities the resort has and the adventure options in the locale...just not when I'm working 14 hours a day.
